Looking to escape the increasingly cold seasonal weather by hunkering down and watching some movies on Hulu? Then there\u2019s good news: the streaming service has confirmed its slate of new additions for December 2025<\/a>, and there\u2019s plenty of films worth watching.<\/p>\n

Hulu is set to add a couple dozen movies this month, from old favorites, like the entire \u201cHome Alone\u201d franchise (you can stop after the first two) to brand new flicks released in 2025. With so much choice, picking out the ones to watch first can be a daunting task, which is why I\u2019ve turned to review site Rotten Tomatoes<\/a> for a guiding hand in selecting the highlights. All three of these new-to-Hulu movies here scored at least 90% or higher.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Of course, a high Rotten Tomatoes score isn\u2019t a cast-iron guarantee that a movie will appeal to your specific tastes, but it\u2019s a solid indicator that a flick is generally considered high quality. So, here are the three movies added to Hulu in December 2025 that critics really raved about.<\/p>\n

Hulu has added a trio of \u201cPlanet of the Apes\u201d movies this month. The 2001 Mark Wahlberg-fronted remake (avoid!) alongside the first two chapters in the \u201cApes\u201d prequel series, \u201cRise of the Planet of the Apes\u201d and \u201cDawn of the Planet of the Apes.\u201d<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll have to forgive the clunky titles, because otherwise, these are the rare franchise spin-offs that might actually surpass the original. 2014\u2019s \u201cDawn\u201d is the standout of the bunch, with the Rotten Tomatoes score to match. It\u2019s intense, action-packed, and surprisingly tragic. Oh, and the CGI on the computer-created primates is astonishingly good, like freaky levels of lifelike.<\/p>\n

Following on from \u201cRise,\u201d intelligent chimpanzee Caesar (voiced and mocapped by Andy Serkis) has created an ape colony on the edge of a ruined San Francisco. When humans, led by a survivor named Malcolm (Jason Clarke), wander into Ape territory, the fragile truce between the two species is threatened. Things escalate when a vindictive bonobo named Koba (Toby Kebbell) adds fuel to the fire, seeking to turn the sides against each other.<\/p>\n

I wasn\u2019t familiar with \u201cStrange Harvest\u201d until I started digging into Hulu\u2019s movie slate for December 2025, but between the interesting premise, the appealing trailer, and the very strong reviews, consider me sold. This one is going straight to the top of my Hulu watchlist when it arrives on the streaming service over the holidays. What stands out to me most is the genre; it\u2019s a mockumentary horror, which isn\u2019t a combination you see often.<\/p>\n

From writer\/director Stuart Ortiz (who helmed 2011\u2019s \u201cGrave Encounters\u201d alongside frequent collaborator Colin Minihan), \u201cStrange Harvest\u201d centers on two detectives (Peter Zizzo and Terri Apple) on the hunt for a notorious serial killer known as Mr. Shiny. After a near 20-year absence, California\u2019s Inland Empire region thought the nightmare was over, but when Mr. Shiny returns, unleashing a fresh wave of terror, cryptic clues left at the crime scene could hold the key to unmasking this killer. But things are never that simple\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2018Together\u2019 (2025)<\/p>\n

TOGETHER – Official Trailer – In Theaters July 30 – YouTube

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

While we\u2019re on the subject of well-received horror flicks released in 2025, Hulu is also adding \u201cTogether\u201d this month, on New Year\u2019s Eve, to be exact. I\u2019m eager to give it a rewatch, as I had a blast with this body-shocker in theatres. One of its biggest strengths is that it focuses on a couple in a long-term relationship, played by real-life husband-and-wife Dave Franco and Alison Brie. Naturally, this means the pair have plenty of chemistry, and are very well suited for playing romantic partners who are in it for the long haul.<\/p>\n

\u201cTogether\u201d is also a movie where the less you know before watching, the better. If you\u2019re willing to trust my recommendation (and the high Rotten Tomatoes score), skip the trailer above and watch it as fresh as possible. Want a little more context? It follows Tim (Franco) and Millie (Brie) after they move from the city to the countryside. In this new surrounding, cracks in their relationship start to widen, but an encounter with a mysterious (and sinister) force brings them back together, closer than they\u2019ve ever been before. That\u2019s all I\u2019m giving you. You\u2019ll have to watch to find out more!<\/p>\n
